I would on behalf of my family and all involved in
Hogg Rescue like to thank everyone who once again donated to the Phil Hogg
Rescue Auction in February.

This years total of £8,686 far
exceeds last years amount and helps greatly to ensure the continued running of
the Phil Hogg Rescue Units & also the Rob Vine Fund. This is even more
welcomed as the loss of this years TT races takes a big chunk out of the normal
monies collected during TT fortnight.

I would especially like to thank
our long term donors who have continued to support us annually & also
welcome the many new donors who have helped us this year. Also thanks are
extended to the many people & companies on the mainland who donate
willingly without any real knowledge of what the Phil Hogg Rescue Unit is all
about.

I will try to name all donors but as normal there are bound to be
one or two missed. I therefore apologise to anyone whose name is not here and
would appreciate it if they would let me know so I can grovel apologetically to
them. Here goes:-

Lets not of course forget the dynamic dou behind the decks
Roy and Peter Moore and of course Derek David Shirley and Jean form the
Imperial who enable us to do this each year.

Before I close I would
like to expres a personal thank you to the family of the late Paul Flint who
died recently especially Mark who I work with at Dowty Aerospace as did his
father Paul, for giving all donations to Hogg Rescue the workforce at Dowtys
raised a fantastic amount of £250 in Pauls name which the Company matched
giving us £500 for our fund.
